Where can these poor Khmer people go after they've been evicted from their own homes and their own lands, the only homes and lands they've ever known all their lives. The government is supposed to provide services for these people.Instead this brutal government allows its authorities to beat,rob and kill its own people. Who can they cry for help now?
Well, they can always go back home (Vietnam) where they came from.
